As a medical student, studying
abroad can be an incredibly rewarding experience both professionally and
personally. Fortunately, most medical schools give their students
enough latitude in their curriuclum to allow such an experience either
after the first year during the summer months, during the third year for
core clinical rotations, or during the fourth year as an elective.
Clinical experiences abroad can relatively easily be arranged and with
enough planning, a source of funding can often be found to defray the costs
associated with travel. At UNC, clinical rotations abroad may
be used as 4th year elective credit and in certain circumstances may be
used as the 4th year ambulatory care-selective. The experience of
studying abroad as a medical student typically involves either a clinically-based
experience, a language program, or some combination thereof. The
information below provides contact information for such experiences with
brief descriptions.
